Quebec City pilgrimage, Oct. 3-5, led by Bishop Robert Deeley in observance of the 350th anniversary of Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral. Included will be the opportunity to go through North America’s only Holy Door. There are only six other Holy Doors: four in Rome, one in France and one in Spain. The Holy Door is made of bronze with images of Jesus and Mary carved on either side and is sanctioned by the Vatican to mark significant jubilees. It was opened Dec. 8, 2013, and will remain open until Dec. 28, 2014, when it will be locked until the next time the Holy Doors in Rome are opened in 2025. Participants will also be able to visit historical sites such as the tombs of Marie de l’Incarnation and St. François de Laval. Deeley will celebrate a Mass on each day of the trip.
